We can be reasonably sure the article author had the opportunity to independently verify claims made by interviewing others and cross-referencing said claims.

Person commenting on article: a random comment by someone whose identity cannot be independently confirmed, nor can we be sure they were even present at any hearing, or events occurred as they claimed. There was no independent review or examination of their claims.

Regardless, I was facetiously referring to this because of a claim of distrust of people he doesn't know, though I misinterpreted that claim to some extent.
